He isn't sure. Going to ask his wife, so I will let you know!

Great information! :thumbsup ETA: do you have a root cellar or how do you store your root crops, onions etc?

We can grow grapes here, as well (zone 4). My neighbor shared part of his massive bounty last year! They were fantastic.

How do you keep the weeds subdued? I can't imagine myself taking care of a 1500 sq ft garden. Mine's 20x20 and I cannot seem to win the weed war. I started mulching with grass clippings last year and that helped a lot. Composting would be great fun, as well.

Oh, lordy. That is a long day! Was it delicious? Gardens are hard work all around. Especially when you've got a short window to get everything in. But oh so rewarding.

Very cool! I had to look those up. That'd save me from my memory (or lack there of). How long did that batch take? Is it like a coleslaw?

Wow, that would be quite the hike to a garden. Sounds like an interesting situation you're in :( I tried to grow cabbage last year specifically for sauerkraut, but I didn't get it in in time. Mind if I bug you later about fermenting? I've never done it and would really like to.

Nice! That's a good sized one. Pruning definitely helps. What are your plans for improvement?

Good to know. I bought the big Ball book last year, lots of information in that thing! Too much apparently, because I didn't do any of it :oops:

Great, thank you. I've had good luck with early girls. I'm going to try some beef steaks in the garden this year, I think.

Do you use a recipe you found or one of your own? Do you do all types of tomatoes?

Yes, for sure. I'd like to dig a type of "root cellar" in my barn this year to keep potatoes and carrots in.

Very nice! My garden is usually not very pretty (weeds, weeds, and more weeds), but it grows well :p I missed my time frame the year before last to get my garden in and it was so depressing.

Haha, wouldn't that be an interesting thing! I believe these are "whiskey" barrels that I bought at Home Depot :lol: Do you water bath and pressure can or just pressure can? I use a ton of canned tomatoes throughout the year and would love more than anything to never have to buy them. Do you...

Since my orchard is finally done, I'll be focusing solely on aesthetics with perennials and my vegetable garden this year. Past successes - Growing tomato plants in 1/2 whiskey barrels with complementary plants and herbs in various smaller pots. Garden always has potatoes, onions, rhubarb...

Yay! Great thread, FC!
